SAVE TOOLPATHS FOR FABRICATION
36D: Return to the Main VCarve Pro window
and turn on all layers and all toolpaths so that
toolpaths are overlayed onto the vectors.
36E: Check the alignment and that outside
and inside toolpaths are positioned correctly
relative to the original vector profile,
Figure 7-48.
SAVE TOOLPATHS FOR
FABRICATION
If you are using the trial version of VCarve, you
won’t be able to save and export toolpaths for
machining, just re-save your CRV file.
READY TO FABRICATE?
While this exercise ends here, your toolpath file
for the Rotational Stools is ready to fabricate.
Chapter 8 walks you through the exciting next
steps of fabricating and assembling your first
AtFAB furniture project.
TOOLPATH SUMMARY
37A: Return to the main toolpath menu,
select Toolpath Operations → Summary of All
Toolpaths Including Estimated Times to get the
machining specifications and times for each
toolpath.
SAVE TOOLPATHS TO FILE
38A: Review these details and once satisfied,
return to the main toolpath menu again to Save
Toolpaths to File. Save these toolpath opera-
tions for output to Shopbot 3, or the format
preferred by the CNC machine you plan to use.
